CHAPTER XLIII

"Oh? Is that so. ”

Minamino Xiu smiled, and then didn't say much, and waved his hand at Jona, "You go first." ”

…… Kook.

Jona muttered to herself, then walked up the stairs and casually greeted the not-so-good-looking trace.

"Yo, traces, what's wrong with your stomachache?"

"Eat your head! What the hell is going on in your class?! I just applied to participate in this year's national competition in the Academic Affairs Office, and as soon as I came back, I saw that your Class B classroom had become like this. The trace department glared at Qiao Na angrily, and glanced at Nanno Shuichi who was leaning around the corner, and found that the other party was also looking at him, so he quickly looked away and said to Qiao Na, "Everyone in your class is talking about saying that you did it." ”

"Not me." Qiao Na looked around and found that the personal guards of the trace department were still hiding not far away and eavesdropping, so she shook her head and said, "It's not convenient to say now, I'll call you when I go back." ”

"Is there anything you can't say right now?" Jibu frowned slightly and didn't look at her, "Then again, do you have a good relationship with the transfer student, you two were not there when it happened, and now it is easy to make people suspicious when they appear together." ”

"Do you doubt me too?"

Traces recounted the current situation in an unkind tone, and Jona interrupted him coldly, which made Traces stunned.

"No...... I didn't doubt you. His originally strong attitude suddenly weakened a lot, and he glanced away from him uncomfortably," ...... It's just a reminder, no matter what you say, I believe it. ”

"You're ......" Jona looked at the trace in surprise, "I'm so impressed!" My brother has never said anything like this to me. ”

"Long-winded, since Uncle Ben saw those things, he won't be surprised if he hears anything now."

Jibu snorted lightly, his tone was finally a little happier than just now, and said forcefully with an attitude that could not be refused, "Wait for me to send you back, and explain it in the car." ”

"Okay."

Jona reluctantly agreed, and although she didn't like to explain, for the sake of her and Jibu's friends, she decided that she should tell him the truth.

"I'll go pack my schoolbag first and see you at the school gate." Jona said.

"Wait, I'll contact the principal first." Jibu took out his mobile phone and was about to call someone, "Anyway, let's deal with things first." ”

"Huh? No, it's settled. Jona said casually, and rushed into the classroom.

…………

"What?! Such...... Okay, I get ......"

When he came out of the classroom, Jona saw that the trace department just hung up the phone, and he didn't know what the principal said to him, and at this moment, the trace department's expression was a little exciting, and after finding that Qiao Na came out, he looked at Qiao Na with a little complicated look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"Are you gone?" Jona asked.

“…… Ahh ”

The trace department snapped his fingers dryly, and his attendant Takahiro Huadi took the initiative to take down Qiao Na's school bag, Qiao Na looked at him in a daze, a little speechless in her heart, but she had to follow the trace department downstairs. When I walked around the corner, I happened to meet Shuichi Minamino who was staying there again.

"Did you go back? Goodbye, Jojo. ”

When Shuichi Minamino saw Jona, he smiled at her slightly.

"Well, goodbye." Jona waved goodbye to him.

He glanced at Shuichi Minamino and continued to go straight downstairs until he couldn't see his shadow, when he suddenly said, "When did you become so familiar?" ”

"It's not too familiar, what's wrong?" Jona asked rhetorically.

"If you don't know him, he calls you jojo?" Traces frowned slightly as if they were a little unpleasant.

"Don't everyone call me Jojo?" Jona looked at the trace department strangely, "You can also call me jojo in the trace department." ”

"............" Traces suddenly stopped sounding, as if they were holding back something, and only spoke again after a long time, "No need, I'll still call you Jona." ”

"Whatever you like." Joanna said.

After getting into the car driven by the housekeeper of the trace department, Qiao Na told the trace department what happened in the classroom before, and she only mentioned the matter of Minamino Shuichi, but she didn't say that Minamino Shuichi was also a monster. Even though he said that he would not be surprised no matter what he heard, he still showed a somewhat surprised expression after listening to Jonah. And he seems to be a little afraid of ghosts, and his face is blue.

"So...... Is there really a monster in Japan? ”

"Yes, and I'm afraid all the folklore you've heard is true, oh yes."

As she spoke, Jona pulled out the business card of the Asakura family under her command and handed it to the trace department.

"If there's something that common sense can't solve, you can go to them."

"......" Jibu accepted the business card with a blue face.

Then neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward, and when they were about to drive to the area near Jona's house, Tracebe suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you remember Julian Thoreau." ”

"Of course I remember, after he played tennis with you, he lay down and was carried out by us." Joanna replied casually.

"......" Traces was silent for a moment, as if he also remembered what he had done at the time, and couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows slightly, and then continued, "His father died last week. ”

"Huh? How so? Jona was slightly surprised, "The boat king was obviously still healthy at the last birthday party. ”

"I heard it was an accident." "And the death of the ship king caused the European stock market to plummet, it depends on whether Julian can take over the business of the Thoreau family." ”

"It's pathetic, he's as old as us." Jona yawned and sighed. After thinking about the SPW consortium, if she was asked to take over, she would definitely not do it.

"Almost, Uncle Ben has also begun to learn his father's career." "But at this stage, my focus is still on tennis. ”

…… Isn't that a little ghost? Jona thought to herself, but still said politely, "Then, come on." ”

"Hmm."

Jibu snorted softly, and seemed to be in a better mood again. He looked straight ahead with his back straight, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

At this time, he looks like a real teenager. Jona couldn't help but smile as she looked at the trail next to her.

Soon the car arrived at Jona's door, and after saying goodbye to the trace, she pushed the door and entered her own house.

"I'm back—"

Going to the Warring States period on the weekend, Jona plans to say hello to her mother to reassure her, but finds that she is nowhere to be found in the house. Ran to the second floor, met the housekeeper aunt who was cleaning, the aunt was cleaning up the room, and when she saw Jona, she immediately explained to her with a smile, "Miss Jona, Ms. Heli took the good young master out for a walk, and she hasn't come back yet." ”

What the? Did Mom go out for a walk with Kazuka......

If it's with Asakura, you don't have to worry about anything, but that good will be pulled out for a walk by her mother, and I always feel that this picture is a little unimaginable......

So Joanna said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll wait for them to come back." ”

"By the way, Miss Jona, when I came to clean in the morning, I found a dirty cloth in your room, because it was a little gray on it, and sent it to the dry cleaner with the rest of the clothes, and told you."

"Huh?!"

Jona froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered the piece of leather cloth.

It's the fireproof cloth that Sesshomaru threw on her head in the first place!! After coming out of the city, I was a little distraught, and Sesshomaru didn't ask her to go back, until I brought it back with a drape, and I realized that I accidentally forgot to return it to others!

"Ah, at which dry cleaner?"

"Huh? It's the Kawada dry cleaner...... Don't worry, Miss Jona, I'll get it back for you when I come over tomorrow. ”

"No need! I'll pick it up myself! ”

Jona didn't have time to change her clothes, so she dropped her bag and rushed out of the house. I was going to find a time to return it, but I didn't expect to be sent to a dry cleaner.

It's too uneasy to leave such an important thing outside, so let's get it back quickly.

Jona stopped the car and went to the housekeeper to sue her for her dry cleaner. As soon as she entered the store, she immediately took out the receipt and handed it to the clerk who was dozing off on the table, "Hello, I want to retrieve my clothes." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look later......" The clerk took the bill and looked at it, "If you send it in the morning, it's not good yet, please come and pick it up tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, there's no need to wash it, I'm going to take it back now." Jona said anxiously.

"Oh well...... Please wait a minute. ”

The clerk put down the bill and slowly walked to the back room to rummage, Jona waited boredly, but after waiting for a long time, the clerk suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Jona nervously, "I'm sorry...... This guest, we looked for the clothes you sent, but the cloth with a strange texture is missing......"

“……”

Jona felt something "buzz" in her head as if it had exploded, she looked at the clerk a little stiffly, her voice trembling a little, "How could it be gone, you guys look for it again, is it mixed with other people's clothes?" ”

"It's not going to ...... The one I delivered today is just a bag and a few suits from your family, and it is impossible to get confused......" The clerk bowed desperately and apologized, then cautiously raised his head, looked at her and said, "Or, we will compensate you, right?" ”

“…………”

"No, wait a minute."

Jona walked to the door of the store, tried to keep herself calm, pulled out her phone, and called her mother, Helly.

"Mom, is it okay to be next to you? If it's convenient, is it okay to let him answer the phone? ”

Jona didn't believe that the cloth would disappear for no apparent reason, and she suspected that the clerk wasn't telling the truth, could it be that they had found something and wanted to take the treasure of Sesshomaru for themselves?
